Confidence Comes From Successes and Failures

People of Baxter

Our leaders provide guidance to navigating the corporate environment.

I learned a lot over the years from watching other successful and powerful women executives navigate the corporate environment. If I could go back and give advice to my younger self, it would be to believe in my skills and capabilities, especially my ability to learn quickly and adapt. The confidence I have today developed over time, and was built from my successes as well as my failures. I didn’t always have the natural confidence to take risks like some people have, but I learned to adjust and be a risk-taker.
